Teaching With Microsoft Teams
During the COVID-19 pandemic many Universities switched to online teaching via Microsoft Teams. I was asked by people how to do this as my third year class had been doing this all semester for a team assignment. Below is the tutorial notes I gave my class before the pandemic. Additional resources followed from successive years. Teams of course has evolved as have we as society and I apologise for any features that now look different.
In due course I will update these resources to be more current as I worry that new cohorts are not being trained in collaborative software as some revert to the 'old' normal instead of adapting to the hybrid 'new' normal. I'd love to hear other's opinions on hybrid - email me [email protected] - if you have a perspective!
Series of short videos to help with learning to use teams: The first introduces the interface and where things are. The second show you how to create a team and add members. - these are really all you need as a minimum - for video calls use the video icon on the posts page (described in the videos and in the tutorial pdf).
The third video explains how class notebook works via OneNote and the fourth video shows you how to copy sections from one team note book to another (this uses the mobile app because it by far the easiest way to do this). The final video briefly explains how to set up and mark assignments. --I can't show you how it looks to mark assignments in the video but once you open a submitted assignment you can provide feedback on the right hand side and if you select review/suggestions from the editing options at the top you can make track changes or comment boxes to demonstrate more explicitly where the feedback applies.
If anyone has any further questions feel free to email me ([email protected]) and I'll update the information here as best I can.

I've also written a blog about my experience so far this semester so you can get some context for how and why I chose to use Teams in the first place - HERE
